　　Ⅱ. Reading comprehension:(2%×10=20%)

　　Directions: Read the following passages. Make your proper choices and blacken the

　　corresponding letter A, B, C or D on the ANSWER SHEET.

　　(1)

　　Taste is such a subjective matter that we don't usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone's preference, is that it's one person's opinion. But because the two big cola companies Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed aggressively, we've wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.

　　We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi—These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.

　　We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices with what mere gum-work would have accomplished.

　　Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand.In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials.The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse—only 7 of 27 identified all four samples correctly.

　　While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burn out, was not a factor.Our preference test results suggest thai only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.

　　16. According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to A. find out the role taste preference plays in a person's drinking

　　B. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers

　　C. show that a person's opinion about taste is mere guess-work

　　D. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

　　17. The statistics recorded in the preference tests show

　　A. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people's two most favorite drinks

　　B. there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi

　　C. few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi

　　D. people's tastes differ from one another

　　18. It is implied in the first paragraph that

　　A. the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas

　　B. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies C. the competition between the two colas is very strong

　　D. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans

　　19. The word“burn out' (Line 4,Para.5)here refers to the state of

　　A. being seriously burnt in the skin

　　B. being unable to burn for lack of fuel

　　C. being badly damaged by fire

　　D. being unable to function because of excessive use

　　20. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to

　　A. show that taste preference is highly subjective

　　B. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy

　　C. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other

　　D. recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas (2)

　　Scotland is a unique and austere place,laden with history, where you can find aristocratic palaces and castles, as well as the traditional parade in national costumes.It has some of the most beautiful cities in Europe,a living testimony of a proud and splendid past.

　　In order to see the true soul of Scotland today, what forged the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampian Mountains. Beautiful and unspoiled, it was difficult to farm. The Scots subdued the environment with simple spades and strong arms.

　　The history of this ancient struggle,and its people's ancient love affair wih the hard land, is enclosed within the walls of the Angus Folk Museum. You are able to get a feel of the typical rural atmosphere of times past from the everyday artifacts displayed here.

　　From coastal Aberdeen in towards the interior of the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses, which are witness of continual revolts against the dominion of neighboring England in Scottish history.

　　Perhaps the most uplifing moment for Scottish autonomy is the one experienced inside this ancient abbey of Arbroath, where, in 1320,the Declaration of Independence was celebrated, at the instigation of King Robert the Bruce. He carried out the plan for autonomy drawn up by the great popular hero William Wallace,to whom cinema has dedicated the wonderful film“Brave Heart”, the winner of five Oscars.

　　Glamis Castle is often remembered for being the residence of King Macbeth and Queen ElizabethI in her childhood. Among the most assiduous guests here are the inevitable ghosts, created by ancient popular beliefs.

　　The true flag of Scotland is tartan, its brightly colored plaid patterns which are used

　　to distinguish the various clans. Over the last few decades this fabric has made a comeback and is part of the daily life of this country.
